Putting the public into public media membership

July 13, 2015

CUNY is holding a day-long membership summit — “Membership Strategies for Media: Beyond Pledges and Paywalls” — on Wednesday at its Tow-Knight Center for Digital Journalism in New York. The full program, led by Jeff Jarvis, includes panels with Melody Kramer, who recently wrote about expanding membership models as a Knight Visiting Nieman Fellow; Josh Stearns of the Local News Lab; Amanda Michel of The Guardian; and many others.

“Membership is too often just a synonym for subscription” – @jeffjarvis kicks off day talking about #membership at @cunyjschool.

If you aren’t attending in person, you can follow along online.

“An important part of personalization is to let users tell you if you got it right” – @kmin #membership

Here’s the event livestream.

The words "chip in" work well when asking people to donate to support journalism, @tktaylor learned from Daily Kos. #membership

An open, collaborative public notebook with detailed write-ups of the panels is here. Melody Kramer also provided notes for her panel, here.

And you can follow #membership on Twitter, though there are many non-journalism related tweets in the mix (maybe they should have chosen a less inclusive hashtag).
